'Heaven' in the Bible

Saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin; for the kingdom of heaven is near.

And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.

Happy are the poor in spirit: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.

Be glad and full of joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so were the prophets attacked who were before you.

Even so let your light be shining before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.

Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.

But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;

So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.

Be then complete in righteousness, even as your Father in heaven is complete.

Take care not to do your good works before men, to be seen by them; or you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

Let this then be your prayer: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

Let your kingdom come. Let your pleasure be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

For if you let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will have forgiveness from your Father in heaven.

But make a store for yourselves in heaven, where it will not be turned to dust and where thieves do not come in to take it away:

See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?

Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

If you, then, being evil, are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who make requests to him?

Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will go into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven.

Truly I say to you, Among the sons of women there has not been a greater than John the Baptist: but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.

Truly I say to you, Whatever things are fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.

Again, I say to you, that if two of you are in agreement on earth about anything for which they will make a request, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
